LA Times - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans Thursday to slash the Department of Health and Human Services, cutting nearly a quarter of its workforce in a major restructuring that will consolidate several departments.
According to the Department of Health, the cuts will save $1.8 billion annually and reduce the employee headcount from 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees. Combined with previous layoffs, the agency said, the layoffs will bring the department down to about 62,000 workers.
Under a restructuring plan, the number of health department divisions will drop from 28 divisions to 15 — including a new Administration for a Healthy America, or AHA. The number of regional offices will drop from 10 to five.
